⁹ My heart `is' to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!

² `For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.

⁹ And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced -- great joy.

³ because, according to `their' power, I testify, and above `their' power, they were willing of themselves,

⁴ with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints,

¹² for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not;

¹⁷ because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you,

⁵ Necessary, therefore, I thought `it' to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness.
